I have been messing about on this website today - Song Meanings - and I just keep looking up all different songs to see what people think they mean.
There are some comments that really make you think about a song in a different way, both good and bad. I now realise that "I am the highway" by Audioslave is about not doing everything for someone - where I used to think it's about just getting away from everything!!
"Seaside" by the Kooks is about testing someone to commit to a relationship and not about going down to the beach - see, madness!!... Some of the John Frusciante stuff is very deep!!
I know you all want to read about me traveling, but this is a lot more fun and I'm traveling with my mind here!..Haha..
Elsewhere, nothing much more to report at the minute, went out for a few beers last night as part of the hostel pub crawl - I think everyone had a good night, I know I did - getting back into chatting with "newbies" again. Other than that, just saving cash and planning my next step - thinking of Ayres Rock around the beginning of June.
Well best get back to scanning and looking up more song meanings....
Cheerfully signing out... GIC

Frustrated and Bored...
And after looking on the Internet, just now during my dinner, at places I still need to visit in Australia, it's making me realise how much I need to get out of Sydney - I have been here for over 5 months now and I still have so much to do.
Ste arrived and left within the last week, he's only here on a 3 week holiday but it was good to see a mate from back home. With me working I only really saw him in the evening on Thursday and Friday, but we went out had a few beers with everyone and it was a laugh. On Saturday we walked to Coogee - this was a massive walk, most people get a half hour bus there! It was nice to take in some sights on the way and stuff. On Saturday evening Nicola, Ste and I went for a quick beer round on Woolloomooloo Bay. The Ste up and left the next morning, but all being well we shall meet up again in two weekends time.
Nicola and Gemma have also left me now, they went on Monday evening. They both have special qualities and have grown to be close friends and I can't wait to see them back in England. With their departure, it's the end of an ere now in some ways, as only I am remaining in HCB from the original group in 315. :(
On Friday I also finished working for M.S.F., and have started a weeks temping for a company called Goodrich, based about 10 minutes outside of Sydney. The people are fine and it's a nice working environment, but the work I've undertaken is rubbish... it's scanning... really really boring!! Also in a bit of a mood today as I have lost my weekly rail pass, more expense. But if they offered me another week I would take it... beggars can't be choosers and all that.
Trying to think what else I have been up to. Over the East weekend we headed out on a mini booze run in the hostel van, which turned into a mini adventure around Sydney, we did the harbour bridge along with some of the other sights. Travelling from one side of the city to the other, even though it was silly it was a great laugh.
I am still having a great time out here, having a laugh with my new little core group of friends - it's sad that some of them are leaving at the moment, either heading home or moving on, but I know a few of us will still keep in touch.
I seem to do a lot of thinking out loud in this blog, and what I am thinking right now is this; see how many more weeks I can get working with Goodrich or anywhere else close by, then head off fruit picking, if only for a few weeks and to get away from Sydney. Then I could travel over to the west coast, working a couple of weeks at a time. I think I want to do it this way as I'm worried I will be in Sydney forever and miss out on so much... Time to put the thinking cap on and sort out a plan of attack...
